![iOS developer ports Swype text input to iOS [updated] Swype](/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Swype.jpg "Swype")
Update: The Swype tweak just got updated a couple of times over the weekend, adding a number of improvements and a name change to “iSwipe.” Version 0.2.1 now adds a blue line that traces your finger’s route so you can make sure you’re hitting the right letters. It’s also more accurate now, and is definitely more usable.
In case you haven’t heard yet, JailbreakMe 3.0 has already been released, giving you a really easy way to jailbreak your iOS device. Not to mention the only way (so far) to jailbreak the iPad 2. In case you’ve heard about it, then you’ve probably already went to the website, tapped the button twice, and currently have all sorts of unapproved apps and tweaks running on your iOS 4.3.3 device. Heads up then: Apple just said that they’re working to put out a firmware update that’ll patch the PDF exploit used by JailbreakMe 3.0.
Well, that certainly didn’t take long. In case you were waiting for it – and you probably were if you were looking to jailbreak Apple’s latest iOS 4.3.3 – you can download the latest PwnageTool 4.3.3 by the iPhone Dev Team now. The latest Jailbreak tool can pretty much jailbreak any iOS device, as long as “any iOS device” doesn’t include the iPad 2. Big downer right there, since we’ve been looking to get SBSettings onto an iPad 2 for weeks now, but whatever. But if you own an iPhone 4 or 3GS, iPod touch 3G/4G, iPad (1st gen) or Apple TV, you’re all set.
It’s been a short wait since Apple released iOS 4.3.1, but because a lot of people have been experiencing issues with frozen FaceTime calls and 3G connection issues on the iPad, here’s your fix. The iOS 4.3.2 update fixes connection issues on GSM (AT&T) iOS devices, which includes the international version of the iPad. Everyone on Verizon also gets an update to iOS 4.2.7.
We all expected Apple to roll out MobileMe as well as put out word about iOS 5 during the iPad 2 event last week, but since it didn’t happen, we’re still expecting the two software updates soon. Apparently, we won’t have to wait long. If this rumor is true, then Apple might be planning an iOS event sometime next month, where they could show off iOS 5 and a fresh new MobileMe. According to the source, Apple will hold the event within the 14th or 15th week of 2011 on the Apple campus, which means it’s some time next month. It’s a bit difficult to tell how accurate the source is, but Apple did a similar thing last year, when the iPad shipped before the announcing the iOS 4 update in April.
